      Software Engineer II Interview

      15 Oct 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Olathe, KS
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Nov 2008

      Interview

      I interviewed in college back during their heyday along with 70 other people. Hiring has died down quite a bit so I'm not sure what the current process is like. I interviewed with 6 people. 5 engineers (mostly hiring managers) and 1 HR person. Before that I did an interview on campus. The HR person asked typical questions and I flubbed on the "What is your greatest weakness?" one. The engineers asked questions related to their sub-section of the company. Specific examples of past work was the most useful thing I brought to the interview.

      Question 1

      Honestly, the standard HR questions were the most difficult but least important at the time. The technical questions were related to technologies that the hiring engineer was working with. It was more about engaging them in a technical conversation than answering a question accurately.

      Software Engineer II Interview

      8 Jan 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Salem, OR
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Garmin (Salem, OR) in May 2025

      Interview

      Really great HR team, incredibly sweet and prompt during the process. First interview was a phone call with the hiring manager, second was the technical interview with two very down to earth engineering leads. It consisted of background / skills / and coding challenge on the meeting. Even though I didn't get the job, this team was very professional and relaxed making things a lot less stressful.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Garmin (Montgomery, TX) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      Initially, I did have a good and relatively normal interview process. There was a screening and a group technical assessment with two people. I passed all interviews and they said they were pretty sure I was going to get an offer, but they needed to hire a senior engineer first. I said sure, and followed up regularly. Well, a year or so passed, and they had me do an onsite interview in Montgomery, TX, basically in the middle of nowhere. I did the SAME technical interview (as in, pretty much the same questions asked and the assessment) that I did the year prior, and they told me I failed. Also, their senior software developer onsite there was very snarky and I could already tell it wasn't a great place to work due to his attitude. I asked for feedback from the interview since we had all invested a significant amount of time in the interview process, but they ghosted me afterward. The funny thing is I was going to turn down the job anyway because of the very long distance drive, in-office requirement, low pay, and poor attitude of the team's onsite lead. I'm not sure how they're going to hire anybody that would stay there, but it's also not my problem. Terrible interview experience!

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in Sept 2024

      Interview

      Normal interview overall but the job description mentioned several acceptable languages yet the technical round required Java which I am rusty with so I struggled with questions I could easily have completed in a language I'm more familiar with.

      A normal fizzbuzz type question.
